More than 97 percent of forest fires in Bulgaria are caused by arson. “There are still farmers who prefer to clear away fields by fire, even though that is prohibited by law,” says in an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio Tony Krastev, Director of the Executive Forest Agency.
Ninety-three forest fires have been registered since the beginning of the year which is comparable to figures from last year. In the words of Tony Krastev, the introduction, at the end of last year, of e-transport ticketing, connected with the Executive Forest Agency information system for all forest owners in the country will mean stricter control of limbering.
